Mirah (pronounced Mear-rah) Yom Tov Zeitlyn is an extremely upbeat individual. Her cheerfulness is contagious, spreading to listeners immediately. When discussing her latest album, she speaks passionately and with pride. When explaining the pros and cons of touring, she replies positively, even when admitting the wear-and-tear lifestyle burns her out at times.

The self-taught musician is bubbling with joy and she has good reason to be. Her fourth full-length album on K Records, “C’mon Miracle,” is due out May 4 and has already snatched positive feedback. Mirah is not one to critique or analyze her own work, but she says she is very proud of her latest effort.

“I’m really happy with how [the album] turned out,” Mirah says, “[But] it’s hard for me to tell, given my lack of perspective on my own music. I make it, so I don’t spend that much time analyzing it.”

Recording the new album at Dub Narcotic Studio in Olympia, Wash., home to K Records and Mirah’s alma mater, Evergreen State College, she says she felt right at home.

“I have a real history with using that space,” Mirah says of the studio. “It’s very much like home to be there and home is not a feeling that I find myself in very frequently.”

With the help of longtime collaborator Phil Elvrum of The Microphones, the recording process at the Narcotic was an enjoyable task for Mirah.

“Recording in the big room has a positive effect,” she says. “It’s calming to me.”

For two of the album’s tracks, Mirah flew to Argentina. Recording in an odd place, Mirah says her surroundings and the atmosphere in Buenos Aires played a role in determining the overall sound of the album.

“When I recorded those two songs, I recorded the vocals standing on the roof,” she says. “It was December, but it was summer and we had to make a tent so I wouldn’t get burned to a crisp on the roof. I’m sure it has an effect somehow on the sound because it’s a different atmosphere.”

Mirah says the recording process is her favorite part of making an album.

“I like the way it feels to be concentrating on recording,” Mirah says. “It feels good and personally, the songwriting part is really gratifying. It’s like when you do a really good job cleaning your kitchen floor or when you feel like, ‘I did a great thing today by myself and I feel better.'”

When Mirah is not in the studio recording, she is usually on the road. Although her first tour was a challenge, the singer says she has come to terms with the chaotic lifestyle.

“[My first tour] was very difficult and I thought maybe I’d never do it again,” Mirah says. “I’ve done a lot of traveling in my life, but I didn’t really know about touring. I hadn’t played that many shows just in general and definitely not outside of Olympia, where I was living at the time. I wasn’t really used to having to sing over a bunch of people talking at a bar. I don’t usually go to bars — it wasn’t really part of my lifestyle. The whole thing to me was not very fitting to my world. Luckily I made my peace.”

When Mirah first picked up her guitar at the age of 18, she had no intention of becoming a pro at the instrument. Instead, she says learning the guitar began as a method for songwriting.

“I didn’t have great hopes for myself that I was going to become this really awesome guitar player,” she says. “It’s a tool. It’s a songwriting tool, and I feel like I was able to teach myself how to use the tool effectively.”

Mirah says she is genuinely pleased with her musical career and success of her albums. She is beginning to realize destiny really did lead her down the right path.

“I’m 29 years old, and I didn’t know that I was going to be making music for a living and feeling successful and personally satisfied with it,” Mirah says. “Somehow, I ended up doing this thing that I really love without a plan, and I feel kind of proud of the way that it randomly just made itself happen. I feel lucky about it.”
